Critics reviews

Joe Czerwinski 95+/100
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is a typically long-term proposition, coated in dusty tannins and cedary oak. It will take time for the cassis, blueberry and slightly pine-scented backbone of this wine to emerge, as for the moment it's almost difficult to taste. Yes, the concentration is present, the tannins are almost silky-ripe, but the structure of this medium to full-bodied wine is unassailable. Hands off for at least five years, and probably more, to judge by how past vintages have evolved.Drink 2030 - 2050Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate (May 2022)

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is elegant, deep and classy. Inky dark purplish fruit, savory herbs, menthol, licorice and spice. The purity of the fruit is remarkable today. There is plenty of youthful Howell Mountain tannin, so readers will have to be patient. Bright floral accents lift the red/purplish berry fruit nicely. This is such an expressive, alluring Cabernet.Drink 2028 - 2043antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (Jan 2022)

Howell Mountain

Howell Mountain

The vineyards of Howell Mountain are nestled about 1,400 ft to 2,500 ft above sea level, sitting above the fog that often covers the valley floor. This elevation, along with the well-drained red, iron-rich soils and decomposed volcanic ash soils, creates a distinctive environment for grape cultivation. The region is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, producing deeply coloured wines considered some of the most concentrated and age-worthy in Napa Valley.
